In short, life goes on, and life is known to be very difficult and very complicated, and as we say in Vienna, many roads lead to the Central Cemetery.
Saw a fantastic Yasmin Williams set at Hardly Strictly a few years ago. Glad to see her stand up for what's right.
Imagine one of those campus interruptions that the right denounced as an assault on free speech, only the president of the university personally set aside some seats so activists could heckle a conservative speaker.
Also Yasmin Williams is a phenomenal talent and you should go see her live.

Log Cabin Republicans Disrupted Yasmin Williams’s Kennedy Center Performance - Washingtonian
Staffers say center president Ric Grenell's office set aside passes for the group, which booed and heckled the musician.

I've interviewed many WIC eligible and enrolled parents and the program is already barely worth it for a lot of people. It's challenging to shop for WIC items and the appointments can be a burden. The fruit and veggie budget is a highlight. This will result in people dropping out and getting $0.
🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase.
Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13
Young kids: $27 → $10
These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen.
*The working conditions are chaotic.
*No clear sense of who works there.
*Routine processes have been stopped.
*No planning can take place.
*People are incredibly demoralized.

“Nobody feels like their job is safe. Everyone is on edge,” said Kim Hasenkrug, an NIH scientist emeritus… “Even the top people can’t keep track because they’re hiring and firing so much. Direct supervisors of those who were terminated didn’t even know that it was happening.”
